These are the top 4 cop shows I have watched more than once. A bit obscure and you won't find them on network tv. Violence, bad language, drug use, sex, and corruption, foreign and domestic.

I guess I’m old school. Dragnet is good enough for me.

I am currently watching “the Paris Murders”. It’s quite interesting, with an excellent cast. It can be found on Prime or on PBS Mysteries.

I am constantly searching for the lesser known, quality shows. I especially like foreign language films, because of the surprise factor. Not being able to figure plot twists. Face it, American films have a pattern, and it is predictable.

I also enjoyed the French series, “Astrid”, with unusual characters.

The title person is a young, brilliant, autistic archivist, for the Parisian Police Department.

I saw a police movie made in Japan ca 1950 about a detective on a murder case. It was an unfiltered slice of Japanese life from that time that you just don’t see in the mainstream. I was a little surprised at how Western everyone dressed and acted. It was like watching an American crime flick from the same era, but with Japanese actors and English subtitles.

Wish I could remember the name.

Sometimes I look for a bit of the old ultraviolence.

True Detective on HBO on demand. Three seasons, all different casts snd story lines each season. Season one and three are better than season two but all are worth watching.

If you don't mind subtitles or if you speak Italian, this one's not bad.

Same here, though the 2 American ones were very well done and the New York one could have had a 2nd season, if any content providers had some guts.

Police Squad was the funniest show at the time and a breath of fresh air.

The Bridge, Swedish/Danish version was very good. Better than the US/Mexican or British/French versions. There are a lot of good Scandinavian crime dramas. And some not so good ones.
